Bishop Adams Eligible

James Alfred P-arce, Esq. Chancellor of
the Diocese of Easton, has published a
letter explaining the question Of the eligi
billy of Bishop Adams The Bishop was
selected 10y the House OF Bishops. con-
secrated and sent to a mission. The church
canon which says No diocesan or Assis-
tsnt Bishop. whose resignation has been
consummated shall he eligible to :uy dio-
cese, etc ;" does not, Mr.. Pearce thinks,
apply to q Missionary Bishop who was
not called, but sent. Another canon ex-
pressly provides that a Missionary Bishop
shall be eligible to The office OF diocesan.
Asa regular diocesan or assistant Is no,
81 eligible the chancellor reasons that the
prohibition attached TO a resigned do
cesar does not affect q resigned mis-
sioaary. That the views OF the House OF
Bishops agrees with those Of Chancellor
Pearce is evident by the fact that suf
tcient number Of the diocesans have con.
sented to Bishop Adams's election TO
make it valid, while only one has dissent
ed. No standing committee has yet con
demned his election. though many have
voted, and in few days enough will have
voted to fully confirm the action The die
cese OF Easton in the election oil Bishop

Con- ition OF Maryland Crops.

The July crop report, as promulgated
by the commissioner of agriculture, has
the following comment upon the corn
crop in Maryland: Worcester-Have had
reasonable rains, but the crop was retard-
ed by cool nights and by frost two weeks
ags. Worms are destructive nsome places.
Wicomico-A large crop expected; wealth
er favorable, and crop well worked. Queen
Anne's-Average area; seasonable, and
stand good. Montgomery-Planted later
than usual, owing to wet weather in May,
but came up well, and is growing finely.
Calvert-Never better prospect for full
crop. On the subject of wheat the report
says; The chinch bug has wrought some
damage in the most of the Western States
and in Maryland and Virginia. Where
harvested grain has been thrashed results
are variable, with plump, sound grain in
some localities, and shrunken berry in
dicated in other. A somewhat serious
decline is reported in the condition of
spring wheat, caused largely by chinch-
bugs and partially by drought. The gen.
eral average was last month 873; now it
is 1913, decline of eight points, or nearly
ten per cent. The July averge of last
year was 1873, four points hig her than the
present figure.

This all-important subject to the farmer
is now being extensively considered in
our own, as we'll as other States. A. a
late meeting in Boston this subject was
largely discussed. and some OF the promi-
uent New England farmers gave their views
and practices upon it, which may be use
full to hose in Maryland who are engaged
in its Investigation. From the Massachusetts,
Ploughman's report We extract the follow
ing:
"There is hardly any place 10 our coun-
try roads but where there is uphill and
down, springy places snd soft places; and
and il they have tile drains run through
the center Of the road four feet deep. with
two-inch tile, they would be rsmedied
very much in muddy weather. OF course.
it has been stated, this drawing back
year after year of what has washed off OF
soil and sand on the side OF the road and
putting it in the middle OF the road again
is worse than nothing. This kind Of
road repairing is done usually where peo-
pie work out their taxes. There are often
many places on our road where there is
gravel, and the road may be helped great
ly by piowing it up and csrting it down
and filing the low places. Thee you have
materially relieved the hill and relieved
the valley also by filling it up with this
material. There are lots ard lots of such
places in the country where you travel
where you see spots Of gravel and not
more than fifteen or twenty rods away
there will he muddy places Now, if you
fill in the low places on the road with
gravel, you not only take down the hill
and relieve the road in that way, but you
also help these muddy places 10y filing
them up.
There is very little discretion used in
road repairing and road building by those
who are supervisors for they are men who
know little or nothing about the business
find tina. there are not many men who
have intelligence enough to hold this
Office, because there are not many who
understand the business and can do good
work. Some of those who fiji these Offices
work out their own salvation in them
but it is not much to the advantage of
the people who have to use the roads and
it is very much to the detrment of the
nnf,1to A hp hoe
pointed highway supervisor takes two or
three years to learn the business. After
having learned it, if he does pretty we'll,
it is better to keep him in for while
than to go to the expense of teaching
somebody else who knows nothing about
it. We poor farmers and tax payers have
to submit to poor officials, and then pay
them for their waste"

Party Harmony.

The Democratic party has surely never
entered upon campaign in a more united
and harmonious condition and with a
more aggressive front than at present.
The primary elections in Baltimore city,
which have in past campaigns been such
a prolific source of complaint and dissatis-
faction with certain elements of the party,
have been, by the wise action of the State
Central Committee, freed from all suspicion
of unfairness. Under the management of
the highly reputable gentlemen who were
appointed as judges and clerks, aided by
the efficient supervision of a vigilant police
and other safeguards, those contests passed
off quietly on last Wednesday week.
No complaint of unfairness has been
heard from any reputable source, and it is
admitted on all sides that the candidates
who have been nominated for the Legisla-
ture and the delegates to the State conven-
ton are the Tree choice of the people
Notwithstanding the unusually large vote
taken at the city primaries, it will be OBJ
served that the general result is the same
as heretofore-the substantial triumph of
the regulars" or those who support the
regular party organization. Those gen
temen who have heretofore maintained
that it was only through fraudulent pri-
maries that the regulars maintained their
supremacy in the city must now admit
that they were mistaken.
The Baltimore American undertook to
make some objection to the conduct OF
the primaries, hoping thereby to stir up
some dissatisfaction but it failed of its
purpose, and only displayed its egregious
ignorance of the subject. Admitting that
through the fundamentally OF "a pheno.
minaly honest committee" fair and repu-
table judges and clerks had been appoint
ed, it undertook to hinge a fimsy objec-
ton on the ale. ed fact that the primary
election law required an election by pre-
cincts instead of by wards as the election
wss held. 1t ought to inform itself better
The primary election law requires an cleo
ton 10y wards and the election as held
was a substantial compliance with its pro-
visions. There is no doubt, however. that
there ought to be for convenience s,ke
more than one polling place in a ward and
the election law ought to be so amended.
Altogether the party is united aud bar
moEious at presen, and substantially in
accord with the Federal administration.
All now depends upon the wise action oil
the Stat convention which assemblies this
week. Of tsis every promise is given and
there is no reasonable doubt that the
ticket to be nominated will be elected by
increased majorities. Due regard will be
had also to the carrying of all the South
ern Maryland counties s,fey through. Sal
let Us buckle Oh our armor and stand pre-
pared for the contest.

MARI as a Fertilizer.

Mr.. Cooke, of the Geological Survey,
was in our office last week He is employ
ed by the Government to trace the strata
of mari from this place to )oint on the
Potomac near Fort Washington. He finds
the deposit of mari here especially abun-
dant and rich. He Claims that this mari,
used as fertilizer on Ger ain soils, would
produce good resu is. The value of mari
as fertilizer depends en- rely upon the
amount of lime and magnesia in it, it will
readily be seen that some soils will moi
be benefited by an app ication OF it, while
Others will derive great amount of adj
vantage from it's use. But the former ART
the exceptions rather III n rule On soils
where vegetable matter is almost entire
ly destitute, and application of mari woul,
have little, if any, good results, nor OF
heavy clay soils would there he any prof
table benefits. But on other soils, such as
light sandy soils, where he decomposi
ton is SOW, and on soils that arr
open and porous, and those that run /,
moss and poor grass, a top dressing OF
mari will be attended by great iaprove-
ment in the condition of the land. On
grass lands, it is always beneficial and
can be applied at any time of the year
when there is no danger of the mari freez
ing, and thus remaining on the top in
small Jumps.
In spreading the mari on grass lands
and grain crops. much depends upon the
finely pu!.eiized condition of the fertilizer
The finer It is, the better will he the re-
suits from its application. When it is
fine'y pulverized, The bes, agent for this
work being frost, it should be mixed with
the surface soil and not with the sub. soil
Unless the mari is near the surface, il vii

the spring, right after the frost has come
out of the ground, mari Is in fine condi
ton for spreading over the fields, as the
frosts Of winter have pulverized it fiaer
than cou d be done by any artificial means
Grass lands will tsen especially be beue
fitted by a light top dressing, say from

Light breaks even in Ohio. On Thurs
day of last week a large and enthusiastic
convention adopted true blue platform
and nominated strong ticket, with Hon.
Thomas E. Powell for Governor, at its

it wins or loses in the coming election, it

The Sources of Cleveland's Strength.

The sources of Cleveland's strength with
the people are well illustrated in IA series

parts of the county, and are Tor the most

sonally very popular in the Western Mary
land counties, and also has many friends
in other portions of the State. He is one
OF the recognized leaders of the younger
element Of the party, and as such adds to
the strength of the ticket.
Hon. w. Pinkney Whyte, the Candidate
for attorney general, has coupled so many
important offices in the gift of the people
that his name has become almost house
hold word in Maryland politics. His
nomination will tend to unity the party
and enable it to present an unbroken front
to its opponents in Novem ser, while his
professional talents and attainments emf
nently qualify him for the office to which
he has been nominated.
The platform is clear, concise, and full
of pertinent suggestions. 1t warmly eulo-
gizes the administration of President
Cleveland, and, while opposing "a system
OF life tenure" and civil pension list, and
expressing the opinion that the service
SHOULD be composed of officers and en-
ployees who are not antogonistic to the
success Of the administration under which
they serve, but are in sympathy with it,"
it upholds the President in his efforts to
effect an honest and competent public
service. 1t reafirms the tariff plank of the
nationtal democratic platform of 1sS4.and
commends the democratic representatives
in Congress from Maryland for their earn
est efforts to reduce taxation. 1t endorses
the administration of Gov. Llyod and his
associates in office, and renews former
pledges to embody in the organic law,
upon a revision of the present constitu-
ton, the right of wage-earners to peace
fully assemble and organize for their own
protection, and makes additional promise
to ''enact such further laws as time and
experience may demonstrate to be for their
welfare and happiness" To meet the
popular demand for more stringent cleo
tion law, the platform pledges the party to
an effort at the coming session of the Legis
lature to secure the passage of an act
switch will embrace not only all the
beneficial provisions OF the Tilden act,
but will embody also those additional
safeguards to guarantee the purity of cleo
tions which experience has taught should
be incorporated in it."
The committee chosen by the conven-
tion to draft the law is composed of ex-
Attorney General Gwinn, Jas. McSherry,
JAS. Alfred Pierce, Henry D. Farnandis
and James Revell. The last plank of the
platform is pledge that the party will
use its best efforts to''a revision of the con-
stitution "to have embraced within its
provisions the requirement Of a more
thorough system of taxation, and ofan an
nual registration of voters in cities whose
Inhabitants number Ten thousand and up
